Lectio
Quómodo descéndit imber et nix de cælo et illuc ultra non revértitur,
In the same manner as rain and snow descend from heaven, and no longer return there,
sed inébriat terram et infúndit eam et germináre eam facit
but soak the earth, and water it, and cause it to bloom
et dat semen serénti et panem comedénti,
and to provide seed to the sower and bread to the hungry,
sic erit verbum meum quod egrediétur de ore meo:
so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth.
non revertétur ad me vácuum,
It will not return to me empty,
sed fáciet quæcúmque vólui,
but it will accomplish whatever I will,
et prosperábitur in his ad quæ misi illud.
and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it.
